Yes indeed, I have been quite confused about that background. I see that there were at least six business's operating in Boonton in the '40's, all doing similar kinds of radio kit and that Model 59 was a Measurements product. Thanks for that correction. I know that Boonton Radio are still around but have not yet had chance to check out the other companies. I note that the AN/PMR10 was made by Stamford Electronics, who were not based in Boonton.

I may be wrong, but I'm guessing that none of the services are still using GDO's.
